10 Parent Reviews for Notre Dame High School For Girls

Id like to clear some things up. First of all, student enrollment at Notre Dame is close to 100 students. Second of all, any "bullying" that takes place at the school is investigated thoroughly when students report it, handled by the appropriate people, and is not tolerated. Third of all, scholarship
... Read more money is given by the alumni and donors, regardless of how many students are enrolled in the school. To say that they are enrolling students simply for money is completely false. Technology-students have full access to computers and the library, and the school has a classroom set of tablets, with plans in motion to have a full school set of tablets in 2013, with students taking courses based around tablet usage. Finally, there is no such thing as a "mass credit." Students recieve credits for religion classes. If you transfer to a school without religion classes, those credits will not transfer, obviously. Additionally, if you take Polish, and the school you go to doesnt have Polish, those credits obviously wouldn't transfer either. This school is absolutely safe. Students have disagreements with one another, the dean of students and administration handles this. Read less

Notre Dame has been struggling to be a good school but honestly, it has gotten a lot better. The AP courses are really good as well as the honor classes. The classroom size it small so the teachers will give more attention. There are now new teachers, who are by far the best and really challenging!

Honestly, it's a very bad school. It has some great teachers, but not very much. It does not compare to all the other good college prepschools in the area.
